We Made Do and the Potatoes and Onions Are In
…The ground that is, the nice moist soil in the raised beds not the muck and mire. For the theme, “Make Do”, my header shows that sometimes you can’t always plant the whole bed like you planned, sometimes you just have to “Make Do”. Dirt and I got back from visiting up north and … Continue reading
You Can’t Take It With You, Sometimes
Dirt and I are abandoning Bet for the weekend and heading north to see the newlyweds and our good friends the Coulters. Not only will I not have a bunch of time to catch up with blogs or write, I won’t be taking the computer at all, for now this is how I compute. Up … Continue reading
Just Now – Tips of Red
It’s Red this week for the Headbanger challenge, not much red out were I’m at, oh wait, look at those tree tops and the catkins beginning to bloom and the red twigged wild roses down low. Even reflected in the water, which I dedicate to Tom who chose the theme, spends much time on the … Continue reading
Spring Will Be Here in Just a Few More Minutes
oops, it actually got here, at 4:21 (7:21 EDT), while I was distracted from posting this post…. But as we all know the season comes when it wants to and often none of the seasons ever seem to coincide with their appointed times, solstices and equinoxes. You may, depending upon where you live and your mind-set, … Continue reading

And now for the post to go with the header…. Retro. Looking back. A look back to look forward. Fabric and a certain application, quilting, is on … Continue reading
Retro Part One
Somethin’s up with the camera. And the computer is on its death bed. I keep hearing Cheyne-Stokes respirations and thinking that any moment it will be giving up the ghost, but it comes back for another day of torture, its as well as mine. All that to say, I am lagging behind with my post … Continue reading
Friends
My greymail scooped up the e-mail last week that announced the theme for this week’s header. I found out what it was on Monday. “Friends”. Well was a little late to call for a party and have everyone over for a big photo. Besides. There is not enough space on my header for all our … Continue reading
Makin’ Money
So after Dirt did our taxes now that we’re a farm business and all, he said the IRS would be after me if I didn’t turn my columns around. I seem to be “in charge” of the only division on the farm that has ninety percent of the outgo (monetary and labor) and zero income. … Continue reading
A Farewell
Over the years I’ve lost a good many things in the months called winter. But I hardly blame him, he never said he would bring anything but death and chill. He has made no promises, nothing was expected. In spite of losses suffered, winter has become one of my favorite times so I thought that … Continue reading
Knitting And Eye Update…
…among a few other this ‘n that sort of things. By the way, I am well aware that it is Friday today, couldn’t miss this week, for I have thought everyday was Friday ever since Monday. That is what comes of Dirt being gone doing schoolish sort of things all last weekend. It has been … Continue reading
